Wedding Ceremonies & Receptions

Your Day, Your Homestead

We like making dreams come true at The Homestead. And we know dreams are like people - they come in different shapes and sizes. For some people, the perfect wedding is small, for others it is large. Some are elaborate, others are simple. No matter what your dream, we can guarantee you two things: the unique beauty of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, and the dedicated attention of our team of experienced experts. Take a minute to explore what you'll find here. Take a minute to dream about your own special day. We'll be here, when you're ready to make it a reality.

Camp Firefly

"Rustic simplicity", "lavish luxury" and "remarkably romantic" are words used to describe the Great Hall at Camp Firefly. Located between steep, timbered slopes, and adorned with cedar shingles, stone and cedar walls. The cozy interior and stately porch overlooks the ceremony patio and pond-side gardens. This mid-sized venue is ideal for groups of up to 90 guests.
